Top tips for a Abbey Wood Home Buyers Survey

The north of Abbey Wood is in an area that can be subject to flood alerts from time to time as it is in a meander of the River Thames. Properties affected are those in and around Maran Way, Sewell Road and Felixstowe Road. If you are concerned that a property you are looking to buy is in a flood risk area, you should consider getting a flood risk report (click for more details). | The A2041 causes raised levels of noise pollution in Abbey Wood, as well as the railway line. Roads in-between both of these sources are the most affected by this, such as Rushdene, Sedgemere Road and Abbey Alley. | According to the UK Government's Public Health England, Abbey Wood is in a raised radon area, with properties built there having a higher probability than average of experiencing ground Radon emissions. The raised Radon area has a maximum radon potential of 1-3% (the percentage is the chance of a property being built where Radon emissions might measure above the action level.

Greater London is an area which contains London, the capital of the United Kingdom (which itself centres on the Cities of London and Westminster) and a number of surrounding boroughs which are administered as London boroughs and which are the overall executive responsibility of the Mayor of London. It contains a large number of constituencies, each represented by an MP and it should be noted that these are not the same as nor even always continguous with the borders of the boroughs.Many parts of Greater London were originally administered by the counties which surround London and these counties are often called the home counties. Enfield, for example, used to be classed as being part of Middlesex, but is now near the northern border of Greater London. Greater London's borders often coincide with a zone of 'green belt': areas where it has been decided that open spaces, parks, forests and wildlife reserves should act as a buffer against urban sprawl. London has numerous landmarks, anything from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to Karl Marx's grave in Highgate Cemetery.
Greater London contains more than 9 million inhabitants, a number growing daily, and as this is approximately 1/7 of the population of the UK, it can be seen that Greater Londoners have a large influence on the rest of the country politically and this is enhanced by the concentration of skilled workers gravitating towards the capital.

Can I negotiate the price with the seller’s solicitor?
Within the survey report there will be a section for your legal advisor.
If there are any defects spotted at the property that require further attention it will be noted in this section of the report and your solicitor can flag these with in her enquiries.

Should there be any issues raised by your building surveyor that will be costly in the future, you can discuss options with the seller.
It’s typical to negotiate one of two resolutions: either the seller agrees to accept a lower offer price for the property, or they agree to carry out the required repairs as a condition of the sale.
In the latter case, this agreement would usually be confirmed in writing as part of the legal contract.
Make sure that all correspondence regarding negotiations with the sellers is agreed by both solicitors.
